Aircraft Asset Assessment: B747-400

Market Presence. The B747-400 still represents the core of many major carriers fleets around the world. Performance, economy and capacity have, until relatively recently, been unmatched and had become the baseline by which all other types are judged.

Aircraft Asset Assessment: A330-200

Market Presence. Orders for the A330-200 had marginally outstripped those for the A330-300 as of 2009 but the reverse is now the case with nearly a 100 more orders for the larger version. The A330-200 represents a formidable competitor to the smaller B767-300ER and the lack of success for the…
